1. July 4th, Independence Day, is our American national holiday. This holiday gives us time to thank God for the birth of our nation, give thanks for gift of life and petition God to preserve our country. As we celebrate
Independence Day, let us pray that God will strengthen and bless America and make our nation a haven of liberty and justice for all. We pray that our country will always accept those who seek political, religious or economic liberty and wish to come here as did our ancestors, or we ourselves. The 4th of July is a great day for picnics and spending time with family and friends. Stay safe and have a wonderful day!

2. Please mark your calendar for the Slovak Pilgrimage to the Marian Shrine on August 13th. More details are listed in the bulletin.
